It provides more than five times faster sequential read performance compared to that of a typical microSD card, reading sequentially at 530 megabytes per second (MB/s). When it comes to writing, it’s 350 times higher than the 100 IOPs of a typical microSD card and attains a 170MB/s sequential write speed, almost doubling the top-end microSD card speed.
